Adoniram Allen's grandson, Robert, s/o John and Esther Baker Allen, applied for membership with Sons of American Revolution in 1880's.He stated that his grandfather was a 1st cousin of Ethan Allen.Since he did not name his grandfather by name, I suppose it is possible he could have meant either one of his grandparents -- Allen or Baker.The Allen researchers feel he was speaking of his grandfather Adoniram Allen. Hope this helps.If you need more info, e-mail me privately - joycehousereeve@webtv.net Joyce
